I don't understand companies knowingly irritating a large majority of customers?!?


Horns are a national brand, A&M is a regional brand. Just the way it is


This isn't necessarily true. While obviously not everyone in the country can recite the E. King Gill story or the history of yell practice, many -- and I dare say as many who know where t.u. is located -- recognize the A&M brands like the Corps and the band. And A&M's former student base is and has been growing at a faster (maybe much faster) pace in recent years. Those folks aren't staying solely in Texas and the Southwest.

Saying the sips are a national brand while A&M isn't is a little like saying some nobody is now a public figure because Time Magazine put them on their front cover. Well, maybe they are after the mag but they weren't before. The branding isn't based on t.u. as much as the efforts of third parties, including these advertisers.

I have USAA, don't buy warby, and bud light can kiss my arse. BTW, that dude in the allstate commercial is a dip*****

And yet, incidents like the bud light dylan mulvaney market boycott still happen. Who is the naive one here?

Only one dedicated sports network that carries SEC events. There's literally 100's of insurance options.

That's exactly what's being detailed in this thread


Terrible advertising has lead to other providers being chosen



Do you know what capitalism means?

Yep.

Analysts and executives analyze the market, determine the route to maximize potential profit via a product, and development marketing campaigns.

That it's "terrible advertising" from your POV is a funny tell on yourself, because all you're really doing is saying "my feel feels are hurt because a school I've been brainwashed to hate is more popular [whimpers quietly into tiny hands]"

Newsflash and TRIGGER WARNING: The University of Texas is a FAR more marketable product than A&M. Their brand is more recognizable. Their athletics successes are FAR superior. Their fanbase is MUCH larger.

It's silly **** absurdity to get your panties wedged because a Fortune 100 company makes massive ad buys, which aren't always micro targeted, those massive ad buys bleed over here and there, and subsequently OPPROBRIUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feel free to choose boycotts over a goofy commercial, that is indeed an element of capitalism, and I'll continue to view that as amongst the most absurd reasons to cost yourself money and quality services.

Have you had Progressive? National? Farmer's?

I'll give it to USAA and State Farm.

Also, when you switch companies you often lose several points off the premium by losing loyalty discounts.

Right, right, right, the boycotters crying about a goofy cow ad are the rational "alpha males".

Moving on from the bleeding female & back to my original question


Can anyone tell me what is supposed to be the funny part of the trans juice commercial w Shane Gillis dressed as a sip



I'm genuinely curious who thinks this is funny & why

Shane Gillis sucks. So does bud light. I don't like them more or less because they paid sips for licensing. They have 10 times the fan base we do. Maybe they all like bud light. That would track.

I'm not arguing for or against any of that

I wanna know what the joke is supposed to be


Who in the marketing department thought that Shane Gillis yelling "Bud Light here!" over and over again was a good campaign strategy?

Insurance companies have plenty of money to invade my life with commercials and advertisements but do everything they can to not pay out when you need them.

So I guess you will not watch anymore of our games on ESPN because they have a partnership called the longhorn network.....with the sips

I love free market capitalism!

Allstate raised my rates and denied my roof claim so I'm done with them. Add in the fact they partnered with the sips and it is the easiest decision to switch.

Thank goodness there are plenty of other options so I can complain all I want when I disagree with one.

I don't drink ****** light so their stupid commercials don't matter.

An Aggie friend of mine cancelled his insureance with All State. Had been with this All State agent for years. Told him sorry, you need to talk to the home office about this.

The Allstate commercial is pathetic and makes the sips look like idiots. The Bud Light commercial makes them seem to be transgender sympathizers

Longtime family friend who's been in the insurance business for 40 years as an independent agent warned me off Allstate when we were looking to switch recently. Said they're a b*tch to work with on claims. And State Farm can kiss my big white ass the way they did us.

as far as sip in all these commercials………you realize the family of networks that airs these things all the time, right? The same family of networks that had to force tu into the SEC to cover their failed investment in that boat anchor cow network. tu will be featured heavily as long as the SEC is in bed with Disney

The little nerd cowboy in the Allstate commercial is literally the poster child for the sips. Every time I see it I wonder if they were cleverly making fun of their fake a** fan base.

It would have been enjoyable if it were actually funny in any way. Just non-existent creativity or humor, and actually cringe.

I agree both of these commercials are dumb, but some of yall are shockingly out of touch with reality
